Miniatures are in no short supply here, Jettuh has been making and selling trains as far back as I can remember being on Shapeways. And there are others like him. What kind of Engineering background do you have? Personally it's been my dream since middle school when we'd go to Baltimore every year for the Engineering challenge and bring home the gold.

I learned a long time ago the wisest thing I can do is be on my own side, be an advocate for myself and others like me. -Maya Angelou
